Reading Activities:

Each thematic unit includes a set of focus words, reading games and writing activities. In our Amelia Earhart unit your child can play memory, hide and seek, and dominoes to practice the thematic focus words. These are different than your typical sight words, but rather words that will excite your child. Our focus words for this unit are: heroine, pilot, airplane, navigation, legend. Included in this packet are writing sheets that have them going over if they were Amelia Earhart and going over a travel guide that they make.

Math and Science Activities:

Since math and science go hand in hand we have these lessons together. In this part of the unit we have lessons that flight plan data that you can analyze with your child. We go over the difference in helicopter pilot balance and airplane pilot balance. There is a self-propelled plane that you can make as well as an air-pressure experiment.

Creative Arts Activities:

We have learned that children need to express themselves creatively. For this reason, each thematic unit includes Creative Arts activities. These activities include art, music, and dramatic play. In this part of the unit we have you making planes out of legos and paper. These creative arts activities will keep your child entertained and learning for hours.

History and Geography Activities:

This is where you really learn about Amelia Earhart and all that she did for flight. We have you mapping out her planned fight route and going over other famous plans.
